Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surface treatment or primer composition that improves the adherence of materials such as adhesives, inks, and coatings to organic polymeric substrates, particularly substrates made of organic high polymers.
  • organic high polymers i.e. large molecules, typically greater than about 10,000 number average molecular weight, composed of repeat units of low molecular weight species, for example, ethylene, propylene, butene, octene, butadiene, styrene and combinations thereof
  • these polymers of low surface energy are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) and ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin copolymers.
  • PE polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer
  • Various proposals have been made to overcome these disadvantages.
  • compositions of styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymers and acrylic polymers in a solvent mixture for priming polymers of low surface energy are known. These compositions improve the bonding of pressure sensitive and structural adhesives to such polymers.
  • Primer compositions and adhesive compositions that display improved adhesion to organic high polymers having low levels of ethylenic unsaturation are known.
  • Such primer compositions typically contain halogen donors (e.g., dibromodimethylhydantion and trichloroisocyanuric acid) and aromatic isocyanates (i.e., compounds in which isocyanate groups are directly attached to an aromatic carbon, such as in 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate). See, for example, British Patent Application Nos. 1,458,007 (published Dec. 8, 1976) and 1,460,043 (published Dec. 31, 1976).
  • compositions typically have shelf-lives of less than about 7 days. Thus, they cannot be readily shipped as a one-part system because they must be mixed shortly before use.
  • the primed substrate will yellow and discolor on exposure to UV radiation due to the presence of the aromatic group in the isocyanate compound. This is undesirable, for example, on white or clear rubber stock.
  • compositions of a halogen donor such as trichloroisocyanuric acid, an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound and an organic solvent are known (Groves, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/725,637, filed Oct. 8, 1996) for improving adhesion of adhesives, inks, coatings, and the like, to substrates.
  • a halogen donor such as trichloroisocyanuric acid, an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound and an organic solvent
  • substrates that contain low levels of, or no, ethylenic unsaturation such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA), ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin copolymers do not typically bond well to adhesives, inks, coatings, and the like, although the above-identified compositions of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 30 08/725,637 do provide improved adhesion.
  • mechanical roughening of the surface prior to the application of these primer compositions may be required.
  • abrasion of the substrates is not economical and is not always easy or convenient.
  • primer compositions and application procedures that will even more effectively prime a variety of different substrates, including polymers with little or no ethylenic unsaturation without abrasion.
  • primer compositions should possess a long shelf-life and, after application, be stable to UV radiation and high temperature and humidity.
  • the present invention provides a primer composition

  • the present invention also provides a method for adhering two substrates together and the article prepared according to this method.
  • the method involves: applying a primer composition to a surface of a first organic polymeric substrate to provide a primed surface; wherein the primer composition is preparable by combining components comprising an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, and an organic solvent; applying an adhesive to the primed surface or to a surface of a second substrate; and positioning the surfaces of the first and second substrates together to form a bond.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side view of a shoe in accordance with the present invention.
  • the present invention provides primer compositions prepared by combining a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, and a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups in an organic solvent.

  • the primer compositions of the present invention are stable at elevated temperatures up to about 60° C. for at least 60 days, when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment.
  • stable refers to a composition that does not decompose, react, precipitate, or significantly discolor during the specified time when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment. That is, the composition is substantially unchanged after a period of time when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment.
  • a substantially moisture-free environment is an environment from which substantially all atmospheric moisture has been removed. Typically, there is less than about 0.01% water in a "substantially moisture-free environment,” such as a moisture-free solvent and/or a moisture-free atmosphere, as used herein.
  • Primer compositions according to the present invention typically effectively modify the surface of an organic polymeric substrate (e.g., substrates made of organic high polymers, which can be synthetic or natural, and are typically elastomeric materials) for improved adhesion of adhesives, inks, and other coatings.
  • organic polymeric substrate e.g., substrates made of organic high polymers, which can be synthetic or natural, and are typically elastomeric materials
  • elastomer or elastomeric material is used in its conventional manner to refer to a material with rubber-like characteristics, as defined by Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, 1987, New York, N.Y., which is incorporated herein by reference. This includes materials that are capable of retracting quickly to approximately their original length after being stretched to at least twice their original length, such as crosslinked polymers like natural and synthetic rubbers. This also includes materials such as uncrosslinked polyolefins that are thermoplastic, which may yield upon stretching.
  • Primer compositions according to the present invention also preferably have relatively long shelf-lives and preferably do not significantly discolor upon exposure to UV light.
  • Such primers are typically effective on a wide variety of organic polymeric substrates having low surface energies, thereby rendering the primed substrates adherent to adhesives, inks, coatings, and the like. This allows for improved adhesion to other organic polymeric substrates or other nonpolymeric substrates, such as glass, metal, ceramic, and the like, using a variety of adhesives.
  • primers are generally particularly effective on organic polymeric substrates containing low levels of, or no, ethylenic unsaturation, such as ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, ethylene propylene rubber, butyl and bromobutyl rubber, ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin copolymer, polypropylene, and polyethylene.

  • substrates such as polyethylene vinyl acetate foam, as well as other organic high polymer substrates such as natural leather, are also effectively primed for adhesive bonding using the primers according to the present invention.
  • the surface of the organic polymeric substrates can be mechanically roughened prior to priming to enhance adhesion, although this is not a requirement.

  • isophorone diisocyanate ⁇ -isocyanatopropyl trimethoxysilane, and oligomers and combinations thereof are preferred.
  • Oligomers of aliphatic isocyanates such as the trimer of isophorone diisocyanate, which is available under the trade designation "VESTANAT T1890E” from Huils America, Incorporated, Piscataway, N.J., are particularly preferred because they are less volatile and therefore less toxic than monomeric isocyanates.

Abstract

The present invention provides a primer composition comprising an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, and an organic solvent.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a surface treatment or primer composition that improves the adherence of materials such as adhesives, inks, and coatings to organic polymeric substrates, particularly substrates made of organic high polymers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many organic high polymers (i.e. large molecules, typically greater than about 10,000 number average molecular weight, composed of repeat units of low molecular weight species, for example, ethylene, propylene, butene, octene, butadiene, styrene and combinations thereof) have surface characteristics that render them difficult to bond to adhesives, inks, and coatings, using conventional bonding agents and methods. Examples of these polymers of low surface energy are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) and ethylene/α-olefin copolymers. Various proposals have been made to overcome these disadvantages.
For example, compositions of styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymers and acrylic polymers in a solvent mixture for priming polymers of low surface energy are known. These compositions improve the bonding of pressure sensitive and structural adhesives to such polymers.
Also, it is known that the receptiveness of rubbers (e.g., styrene/butadiene copolymers (SBR) used for shoe soling) and other solid high polymers toward bonding with adhesives (e.g., solvent-based polyurethane and polychloroprenes) is improved by the chlorination of the surface with solutions of halogen donors, such as trichloroisocyanuric acid and N,N-dichlorobenzene sulfonamide. This can be done, for example, by incorporating the halogen donor into a primer or the adhesive itself Typically, however, solutions containing only halogen donors are effective only on substrates containing a high level of ethylenic unsaturation. Also, adhesive compositions, such as polyurethane adhesives, containing a halogen donor have limited stability.
Primer compositions and adhesive compositions (e.g., hydroxy-terminated polyurethane adhesives) that display improved adhesion to organic high polymers having low levels of ethylenic unsaturation are known. Such primer compositions typically contain halogen donors (e.g., dibromodimethylhydantion and trichloroisocyanuric acid) and aromatic isocyanates (i.e., compounds in which isocyanate groups are directly attached to an aromatic carbon, such as in 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate). See, for example, British Patent Application Nos. 1,458,007 (published Dec. 8, 1976) and 1,460,043 (published Dec. 31, 1976). However, such compositions typically have shelf-lives of less than about 7 days. Thus, they cannot be readily shipped as a one-part system because they must be mixed shortly before use. In addition, the primed substrate will yellow and discolor on exposure to UV radiation due to the presence of the aromatic group in the isocyanate compound. This is undesirable, for example, on white or clear rubber stock.
Compositions of a halogen donor such as trichloroisocyanuric acid, an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound and an organic solvent are known (Groves, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/725,637, filed Oct. 8, 1996) for improving adhesion of adhesives, inks, coatings, and the like, to substrates. These primer compositions are particularly effective on organic polymeric substrates containing some degree of ethylenic unsaturation such as polybutadiene, polyisoprene, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene copolymers, polychloroprene, and the like. However, substrates that contain low levels of, or no, ethylenic unsaturation such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA), ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and ethylene/α-olefin copolymers do not typically bond well to adhesives, inks, coatings, and the like, although the above-identified compositions of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 30 08/725,637 do provide improved adhesion. For such substrates, mechanical roughening of the surface prior to the application of these primer compositions may be required. However, abrasion of the substrates is not economical and is not always easy or convenient. Thus, there is still a need for primer compositions and application procedures that will even more effectively prime a variety of different substrates, including polymers with little or no ethylenic unsaturation without abrasion. In addition, such primer compositions should possess a long shelf-life and, after application, be stable to UV radiation and high temperature and humidity.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present invention provides a primer composition comprising an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, and an organic solvent. These components may or may not react significantly upon mixing. Thus, the compositions of the present invention include an incipient nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, an incipient aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, and an incipient halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, and/or reaction products thereof, and an organic solvent.
In a preferred embodiment, the primer composition comprises a solution of: an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound selected from the group of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, methylene bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate), trimethyl hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, γ-isocyanatopropyl trimethoxysilane, and oligomers and combinations thereof, a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, wherein the functional groups are selected from the group of carboxylic acid anhydride groups, hydroxyl groups, epoxide groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, carboxylic acid amide groups, carboxylic acid groups, and combinations thereof; a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, wherein the polymer is selected from the group of a chlorinated polypropylene, a chlorinated polyethylene, a chlorosulfonated polyethylene, a chlorosulfonated polypropylene, a chlorinated polypropylene modified with maleic anhydride, a chlorinated polyethylene modified with maleic anhydride, and blends or reaction products thereof; and an organic solvent. Examples of the nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups includes a styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer modified with maleic anhydride, an ethylene-propylene copolymer modified with maleic anhydride, a propylene polymer modified with maleic anhydride, an ethylene/butylene copolymer containing hydroxyl endgroups, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer modified with maleic anhydride, and blends or reaction products thereof (i.e., of two or more of these polymers).
The present invention also provides a method for adhering two substrates together and the article prepared according to this method. The method involves: applying a primer composition to a surface of a first organic polymeric substrate to provide a primed surface; wherein the primer composition is preparable by combining components comprising an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, and an organic solvent; applying an adhesive to the primed surface or to a surface of a second substrate; and positioning the surfaces of the first and second substrates together to form a bond.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention provides primer compositions prepared by combining a nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, an aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, and a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups in an organic solvent. Although not intending to be limiting, it is believed that these components are reactive towards each other or other components in the composition through their functional groups, although not so reactive as to have unstable compositions when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment. Thus, the compositions of the present invention include an incipient nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups, an incipient aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound, and an incipient halogenated hydrocarbon polymer optionally containing organic functional groups, and/or reaction products thereof, and an organic solvent
The primer compositions of the present invention are stable at elevated temperatures up to about 60° C. for at least 60 days, when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment. As used herein, "stable" refers to a composition that does not decompose, react, precipitate, or significantly discolor during the specified time when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment. That is, the composition is substantially unchanged after a period of time when stored in a substantially moisture-free environment. Herein, a "substantially moisture-free environment" is an environment from which substantially all atmospheric moisture has been removed. Typically, there is less than about 0.01% water in a "substantially moisture-free environment," such as a moisture-free solvent and/or a moisture-free atmosphere, as used herein.
Primer compositions according to the present invention typically effectively modify the surface of an organic polymeric substrate (e.g., substrates made of organic high polymers, which can be synthetic or natural, and are typically elastomeric materials) for improved adhesion of adhesives, inks, and other coatings. As used herein, elastomer or elastomeric material is used in its conventional manner to refer to a material with rubber-like characteristics, as defined by Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, 1987, New York, N.Y., which is incorporated herein by reference. This includes materials that are capable of retracting quickly to approximately their original length after being stretched to at least twice their original length, such as crosslinked polymers like natural and synthetic rubbers. This also includes materials such as uncrosslinked polyolefins that are thermoplastic, which may yield upon stretching.
Primer compositions according to the present invention also preferably have relatively long shelf-lives and preferably do not significantly discolor upon exposure to UV light. Such primers are typically effective on a wide variety of organic polymeric substrates having low surface energies, thereby rendering the primed substrates adherent to adhesives, inks, coatings, and the like. This allows for improved adhesion to other organic polymeric substrates or other nonpolymeric substrates, such as glass, metal, ceramic, and the like, using a variety of adhesives.
Further, such primers are generally particularly effective on organic polymeric substrates containing low levels of, or no, ethylenic unsaturation, such as ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, ethylene propylene rubber, butyl and bromobutyl rubber, ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, polypropylene, and polyethylene. Also, adhesion to substrates that contain some degree of unsaturation, such as polybutadiene, polychloroprene, polyisoprene, natural rubber, isobutylene-isoprene copolymer, styrene-butadiene copolymer, and styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer can be improved by the primer compositions of the present invention. Significantly, other substrates, such as polyethylene vinyl acetate foam, as well as other organic high polymer substrates such as natural leather, are also effectively primed for adhesive bonding using the primers according to the present invention. The surface of the organic polymeric substrates can be mechanically roughened prior to priming to enhance adhesion, although this is not a requirement.
Suitable aliphatic isocyanate-containing compounds useful in making primer compositions according to the present invention are those in which the isocyanate (--NCO) groups are directly attached to aliphatic carbons. Although not typically preferred, the aliphatic isocyanate-containing compounds may include aromatic moieties. Thus, the aliphatic isocyanate-containing compounds may include unsaturation, although saturated materials are typically preferred.
The isocyanate-containing compound can be in the form of monomers, oligomers, or polymers, as long as there are available (i.e., unreacted) isocyanate groups. Examples of such aliphatic isocyanate-containing compounds include, but are not limited to, monomers such as 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, methylene bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate), trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, γ-isocyanatopropyl trimethoxysilane, dimer acid diisocyanate, xylene diisocyanate, benzene-1,3-bis(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl), and benzene-1,4-bis(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl), oligomers of aliphatic isocyanate monomers, and polymers or prepolymers (i.e., reaction products) of aliphatic isocyanates with active hydrogen-containing compounds. Of these, isophorone diisocyanate, γ-isocyanatopropyl trimethoxysilane, and oligomers and combinations thereof are preferred. Oligomers of aliphatic isocyanates, such as the trimer of isophorone diisocyanate, which is available under the trade designation "VESTANAT T1890E" from Huils America, Incorporated, Piscataway, N.J., are particularly preferred because they are less volatile and therefore less toxic than monomeric isocyanates.
The reaction products of aliphatic isocyanates with active hydrogen-containing compounds are suitable if they contain unreacted isocyanate groups. Any of the above-listed aliphatic isocyanates can be used to make such materials. Examples of active hydrogen-containing compounds include, but are not limited to, ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol, polyester polyol, polycarbonate polyol, polytetramethylene oxide polyether polyol, polypropylene oxide polyether polyol, and polyethylene oxide polyol. Mixtures of the aliphatic isocyanate-containing monomers, oligomers, and/or prepolymers have also been found to be useful.
Suitable nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymers are those that contain organic functional groups such as carboxylic acid anhydride groups, hydroxyl groups, epoxide groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, carboxylic acid amide groups, carboxylic acid groups, and the like. Examples of suitable hydrocarbon polymers containing functional groups include, but are not limited to, a styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer modified with maleic anhydride, an ethylene-propylene copolymer modified with maleic anhydride, a propylene polymer modified with maleic anhydride, an ethylene/butylene copolymer containing hydroxyl end groups, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer modified with maleic anhydride and blends or reaction products of two or more of these polymers. Of these, a maleated styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene containing about 2% by weight of succinic anhydride, which is available under the trade designation "KRATON FG-1901X" from Shell Chemical Company, Houston, Tex., an ethylene/butylene copolymer containing hydroxyl end groups, which is available under the trade designation "HPVM 2203" from Shell Chemical Company, Houston, Tex., a maleic anhydride modified ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, which is available under the trade designation "FUSABOND MC-190D" from DuPont Canada, Incorporated, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer containing 72% ethylene, which is available from Polysciences, Incorporated, Warrington, Pa., are particularly preferred. Mixtures of these polymers have also been found to be useful.
Suitable halogenated hydrocarbon polymers optionally containing organic functional groups useful in making primer compositions according to the present invention are those polymers that are simply halogenated as well as those that are halogenated and contain organic functional groups such as sulfonate groups, carboxylic acid anhydride groups, hydroxyl groups, epoxide groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, carboxylic acid amide groups, carboxylic acid groups, and the like. Examples of suitable halogenated hydrocarbon polymers optionally containing organic functional groups include, but are not limited to, a chlorinated polypropylene, a chlorinated polyethylene, a chlorosulfonated polyethylene, a chlorinated polypropylene modified with maleic anhydride, a chlorinated polyethylene modified with maleic anhydride, and blends or reaction products thereof. Of these, a chlorosulfonated polyethylene, which is available under the trade designation "HYPALON CP827B" from DuPont Polymer Products, Wilmington, Del., and a chlorinated polypropylene modified with maleic anhydride, which is available under the trade designation "CP 343-1" from Eastman Chemical Company, Kingsport, Tenn., are preferred.
Any of a wide range of organic solvents may be used, including, for example, aliphatic esters, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and halogenated aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons. Examples include, but are not limited to, cyclohexane, xylene, heptane, toluene, and hexane. Preferably, the organic solvent is a mixture of cyclohexane and xylene in weight ratios of about 95:5 to about 5:95, and more preferably about 80:20 to about 20:80 (cyclohexane to xylene).
Primer compositions according to the present invention include the aforementioned components in amounts sufficient for providing improved adhesion of inks, adhesives, and other coatings to high organic polymeric substrates. Preferably, the aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound is present in an amount of about 1% to about 15% by weight, and more preferably, about 1% to about 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the primer composition. Preferably, the nonhalogenated hydrocarbon polymer containing organic functional groups is present in an amount of about 0.25% to about 10% by weight, and more preferably, about 0.25% to about 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the primer composition. Preferably, the halogenated hydrocarbon polymer is present in an amount of about 0.5% to about 10% by weight, and more preferably, about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, based on the weight of the total primer composition. The organic solvent is preferably present in the primer composition of at least about 75% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.
Primer compositions according to the present invention may further include additives. These include, for example, coupling agents such as silane coupling agents and acid scavengers such as epoxy resins. Typically, the additives are present in the primer compositions in an amount to provide the desired effect. Preferably, they do not exceed about 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the primer composition. They can be used alone or in various combinations.
Primer compositions according to the present invention are typically homogeneous solutions, although this is not a necessary requirement. They may be applied to a substrate using a variety of techniques including dipping, spraying, brushing, rotogravure coating, and Meir rod and knife coating. The primer is typically dried before the adhesive, ink, or other coating material is applied. In certain embodiments, the surface of the substrate is mechanically abraded prior to the primer being applied.
The adhesives, inks, and other coating materials that demonstrate improved adhesion to the primed organic high polymers (i.e., substrates coated with the primer compositions according to the present invention) can be thermosetting, thermoplastic, and hybrid materials (i.e., thermosetting and thermoplastic). The term hybrid as used herein refers to combinations of two or more different types of materials (e.g., adhesives) as well as two or more polymers suitable for forming adhesives, inks, and other coating materials. Typically, the material coated on the primed organic high polymers is an adhesive.
Thermosetting adhesives are generally formed by addition polymerization. Examples of thermosetting adhesives include polysulfides, silicones, polyesters, polyurethanes, epoxies, anaerobic and aerobic acrylics, radiation curable polymers and vulcanizing rubbers. Thermosetting adhesives typically cure by heat, catalysts or light or moisture activation. After curing, thermosetting adhesives are generally insoluble (i.e., the adhesive will not dissolve in an organic solvent or water) and infusible (i.e., the adhesive will not flow when heated).
Thermoplastic adhesives are soluble and fusible materials. Examples of thermoplastic adhesives include vinyl adhesives (e.g., polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl alkyl esters and ethers and vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer adhesives, acrylic adhesives, and polyurethane adhesives), hot melt adhesives, cellulosic adhesives, and asphalt-based adhesives. Thermoplastic adhesives may be in the form of emulsions, solutions, or solids.
When the primer composition is applied to a substrate, it is typically allowed to dry prior to application of the coating, typically an adhesive. The adhesive may include components that react with the aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound. For example, polyurethane-based adhesives and epoxy-based adhesives may react with the aliphatic isocyanate-containing compounds. In order to increase the rate of reaction between the aliphatic isocyanate-containing compound and the polyurethane-based adhesive, a catalyst may be added to the adhesive, although this is not required. Examples of such catalysts include dialkyltin dicarboxylates, mixtures of dialkyltin dicarboxylates and trialkyltin oxides, metal acetyl acetonates, metal carboxylates, mixtures of metal acetyl acetonates and tertiary amines, and the like.
Primer compositions according to the present invention may be used in the manufacture of any of a wide variety of articles such as footwear, particularly footwear with elastomeric components such as athletic shoes, as well as tennis rackets and roofing membranes. They are also suitable for bonding two organic polymeric substrates together, or one such substrate to a variety of other substrates such as those containing metal, glass, ceramic, wood, cotton or other fabrics, and the like.
Primer compositions according to the present invention are particularly useful in the manufacture of footwear with elastomeric soles, such as athletic shoes. Referring to FIG. 1, an athletic shoe 20 is shown, which has upper 22, midsole 24, and sole (or outsole) 25. In the manufacture of athletic shoes 20, for example, the primer composition is applied by spraying, brushing, or wiping to the attachment side of a sole 26, such as a rubber sole. Typically, the solvent is removed by evaporation (e.g., air drying) to form a primed surface. The primed surface of the sole 26 is then treated in the conventional manner by applying adhesive, preferably a polyurethane adhesive. If the adhesive is solvent based, the solvent is allowed to evaporate. The upper portion 22, and optionally the midsole 24 and sole (or outsole) 25, of the shoe 20 may be coated with the primer composition, allowed to dry, and coated with the same or a different adhesive and any solvent allowed to evaporate. When the adhesives have dried, the sole 26, the midsole 24, sole (or outsole) 25, and upper 22 are bonded in a conventional manner, typically with heat reactivation of the adhesive coatings. For example, the adhesive on the sole may be reactivated at about 80° C. and the sole applied to the upper, which may or may not have been heat reactivated. The assembly is then treated in a manner known in the art, such as using a press at an elevated pressure.
Objects and advantages of this invention are further illustrated by the following examples, but the particular materials and amounts thereof recited in these examples, as well as other conditions and details, should not be construed to unduly limit this invention. All parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
